TikTok Sportlich Lyrics in English by ZAH1DE
Quatschen is a casual German verb meaning “to chatter,” “to blab,” or “to talk nonsense.” In the song, “hört auf zu quatschen” and “bitte quatsch nicht” are dismissive commands meaning “stop talking” or “don’t run your mouth,” giving this memorable everyday slang word a confident, confrontational edge.
TikTok Sportlich is ZAH1DE doing a victory lap, Berlin style. The song opens rolling up "im Lamborghini, hinter mir meine Clique" (in the Lamborghini, my clique behind me) and then spells out the artist's name like a chant: "Z-A-H-I-D-E, TikTok auf For-You-Page" (Z-A-H-I-D-E, TikTok on the For You Page). The whole song is built on the idea that ZAH1DE and the crew set the trends and everyone else copied them.
There is a bit of bite in it too. "Wir haben euch aufgebaut, sag, wo seid ihr jetzt?" (We built you up, so where are you now?) is aimed at people who came and went, and there is pride in the hometown: "Ich komm' aus Kreuzberg 36" (I'm from Kreuzberg 36). The chorus is pure flex, "Mit der Fam in Dubai, ich leb' ein Hollywood-Life" (With the fam in Dubai, I live a Hollywood life), and the haters get a cheeky shrug: "Im Internet frech, aber macht nix" (Cheeky on the internet, but they don't do anything). It is loud, a bit much, and great for picking up the German-English slang mix young Berliners actually use.
